We've been keeping a secret 🤫
Hope everyone has had a fantastic Christmas break and I wish y'all a very happy new year 🎊
Inspired by our friends at @perfectfitharness, we thought we’d go through the basics of how to charge your clicker or marker up. Before you go into training and look as cool as Reggie & Rhi, you need to let your dog know that the clicker noise or your marker word means GOOD. You can then use this in training to “mark” the moment they’ve done the right thing - but your timing has to be spot on!For example in a sit, you want to mark the moment their bum hits the floor. If you mark too soon, they may hover. Too late, you’re marking the break of the sit. It can take some getting used to, but clickers can be an incredible training tool to really bring precision to your training goals. Do you use a clicker during training? #dogtraining #dogtrainer #clickertraining
We loveeee teaching our fungundog classes, and we always make sure that we have some @pawsbrooklyn dummies on hand to train.
Bucky will retrieve practically anything, but Kayto looooves his furry dummy.
Gundog classes are so much fun and such a great way to teach obedience skills to your dog whilst bonding with them too. Our classes involve
✨ heelwork
✨ steady / impulse control
✨ work around other dogs
✨ retrieving over obstacles and doing blind retrieves
✨ having tons of fun and working as a team
We recently finished our gundog month at @spiriteddogkent and it was so great to have such a focus on our sport dogs. If your dogs loves fetching things, why not turn it into a valuable set of skills and an amazingly fun cooperative game that you can play on walks, in the house and during training!
Email us at [email protected] to get yourself on our 2025 gundog waitlist, and in the meantime, we’d highly recommend you get yourselves a @pawsbrooklyn dummy! 🐶😁

YOUR COCKAPOO IS A CHAMPION! ⭐️
Cockapoos are sold as family dogs and whilst they are suited to this role, they are not a couch potato! The cocker spaniel and poodle are two of the most intelligent breeds, both with the possibility of working lines which require a LOT of enrichment and activity.
We have people asking us for help with reactive cockapoos, destructive cockpoos, cockapoos that can’t be left alone. And often, it’s because although they’re getting walks and attention, their breed specific needs aren’t being met. These intelligent dogs need a job! So if you’re struggling with your cockapoo, here are some top tips:
⭐️ Pinpoint what they love - are they obsessed with sniffing? Do they love carrying things round? Do they love running and jumping about?
⭐️ Find safe and acceptable outlets for these behaviours - maybe it’s doing a scatter feed and snuffle mat. Maybe it’s going on a run with you, or having an enrichment box that they can tear and explore!
⭐️ Email us to figure out the best class - your sniffer dog might love scent detection or tracking, your bouncy dog might love agility, and your dog who loves stealing socks and toys could be the perfect gundog!
They may be cute, but cockapoos are capable of A LOT.
Email us at [email protected] and we’ll help you find your dog’s passion 🐾

Our reactivity sessions improve your dog's confidence, focus and allow you more freedom with your furry friend to enjoy life.
We work with stooge dogs and in a managed environment to build strong modifications to behavior, then take our training out on the road to proof it in situations and areas carefully selected.
You also receive education on cortisols role in your dog's body and how to help them. And we get to have some fun with a dog sport on a 1-1 basis to aid your bond OR we go into a class environment!!
